George Will delivers a stem-winder here, the kind that will not endear him to some folks on the right--but which of course endears him to me. Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich have both spent enough time on the ridiculous Obama history crazy train for thoughtful Republicans to realize that neither of them is Presidential. Will's gang of five--Barbour, Romney, Daniels, Huntsman and Pawlenty--is a solid group of GOP standard bearers, though Chris Christie would obviously liven things up.
Notably missing (but predictably missing) from Will's list is Sarah Palin. This will--of course--be the MSNBC take-away from Wills column.
I could live with any of those but if I had my choice I like Paul Ryan. He proved in that ridiculous healthcare media circus Obama held that he can whip Obama ass in a debate. He reduced Obama to saying "elections have consequences, and we won". That was a defining moment for Obama and should be in an ad in '12.
ReplyDeletePlus I think the country is ready for another Roman Catholic Irishman. True, most are pathetic drunks or halfwits, but Ryan is the rare exception.
I resemble that remark!
ReplyDeleteIs it possible that someone else is lurking out there-someone capable of winning-that we're all overlooking? Ryan's too valuable where he is.
